You replied to the wrong person. I already know this, but clearly the person who posted the quote doesn’t ;)

It’s a quote from the website

MythBusters showed the expression bull in a China shop is not accurate because the bull did not actually break anything

I will never not upvote an Ahoy video. The guy is a legend in video game documentaries. Check out his Monkey Island video as a follow-up

For some reason nobody gave any suggestions for a client to use. If you are familiar with Apollo for Reddit, there is a spiritual successor here on Lemmy called Voyager: https://vger.app/

Oh little snitch was just what I used when macOS was my main operating system. When I switched to windows I started using simple wall and I just recently was poking around for a Linux solution and I found open snitch

Seems legit! https://safing.io/blog/2022/04/11/portmaster-vs-simplewall/

Just use little snitch, open snitch or simple wall depending on your operating system and block the outbound connection if one ever occurs

Better still, don’t update

This is the correct answer. There’s so much counterfeit garbage on Amazon you’re better off going straight to the company that made whatever you’re trying to buy or wherever else they say their product is sold

I am fairly certain the original version of this meme has red shirt saying Linux and getting beat up

Is this supposed to be formatted using a larger font or something? I’m on Apollo and I just see a bunch of carrets.

I’ve got one more to add to your list, and I hate it, but it’s worth mentioning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation

It’s when the data type is in the name of the variable.

Whatever you do, don’t use G2A and other similar CD key reseller websites. Developers would rather you just pirate the game because a lot of those keys are stolen, which cause a charge back that ends up costing the developers tens of thousands of dollars in fees. In rare cases it has even bankrupt them.

Yeah this basically sounds like it takes the temporary container add on that I think was folded into Firefox at some point recently and basically just does it behind the scenes now on a per domain basis

No OP was right. If the reCaptcha is on the same page as a login, and I use my password manager to fill the fields, I fail the reCaptcha almost every time. I have to manually paste in the user name and password separately to slow things down to act more human…

Presumably if they didn’t comply it would have been a lawsuit

Nintendo shuts down Smash World Tour ‘without any warning’

Said tournament was going to have the largest ever prize pool of $250,000.

Given the company’s aggressive copyright enforcement, this isn’t the first time that Nintendo has forced grassroots competitions using its games to stop operating, having similarly shut down a Super Smash Bros. tournament in 2020. Nintendo also notably ordered Evo — the world’s largest fighting game tournament — to shut down a planned Melee event in 2013 before reversing the decision.

The Smash World Tour said it will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of the shutdown but reassures all attendees of the canceled events that they will be issued full refunds.

When it comes to small expensive electronics, you can never be too careful.

I was still in school when the PSP came out, and I had one on launch. I was dumb and was taking it to school daily, but I was very careful not to leave it out of my sight. One day in science class, it was stolen from right under me as it was inside my backpack, which was under my chair the entire class.

At the time, I blamed the 2 trouble makers in front of me since at points I was facing the back of the class for a group activity. I found out years later it was the Mormon next to me I trusted, who I can only assume expertly unzipped my bag and slipped it out while nobody was paying attention. I never got that PSP back, and I ended up buying another one later, both with my own money… It was a brutal reality check that taught me a handful of lessons in life

It works as long as you can get at the authentication key that generates the one time codes. Usually you scan a QR code, but sometimes you have to paste it in as a string.

How you get that private authentication key can vary by service. For example, you can install steam mobile on an android emulator and use an open source program to extract the private authentication key.
